I think the end is not actually part of the article: "lade han sin arm om systerns skuldror. velocipedstölder" = laid his arm around [his] sister's shoulder. bicycle thefts My translation of the rest: "The country's most dangerous and cunning thief" is now sitting in jail in Norrköping. It is the former bricklayer Frans August Wickenberg who, at the request of the detective police in Stockholm and City prosecutor in Motala was arrested by the Public Prosecutor in Norrköping for committed bicycle thefts. During his questioning at the police station he behaved with utter brazenness and denied, just denied. In addition to six times theft he has also been punished for forgery. The first time he suffered punishment was in 1883, and since then his life has been a chain of crimes and imprisonment. The above-mentioned opinion concerning him has been pronounced by a prominent officer of the prison service. He was born February 6, 1864 in Tigsås [Tingsås?] parish in Kronoberg county. // Bo Johansson
